fpdf2
fpdf2 is a minimalist PDF creation library for Python:
from fpdf import FPDF
document = FPDF()
document.add_page()
document.set_font('helvetica', size=12)
document.cell(w=0, txt="hello world")
document.output("hello_world.pdf")
It is a fork and the successor of PyFPDF.
Compared with other PDF libraries, fpdf2 is simple, small and versatile, with
advanced capabilities, and is easy to learn, extend and maintain.
